Pix'n Love has announced a limited physical release of MIO: Memories in Orbit for Nintendo platforms, with a standard physical edition arriving in October 2026 and a Collector's Edition scheduled for winter 2026.
The publisher confirmed production limits and pricing for both runs, making this one of the more notable indie physical launches announced this year.
According to Pix'n Love, the Standard Edition is priced at €49.90 and is limited to 2,000 copies.
The package will be region free and include the full game on cartridge, with a First Edition version featuring a reversible cover.
The Collector's Edition is priced at €99.90, limited to 500 copies, and bundled with several premium items: an exclusive numbered zinc alloy medal, a premium cardboard portfolio containing eight collectible lithographs, and a rigid collector's box with a die-cut front window.
The publisher's announcement also specifies a physical cartridge version described for Nintendo Switch 2 in the Collector's Edition notes.
Industry publication Nintendo Life reviewed MIO: Memories in Orbit and awarded it an 8/10.
The review praised the game's platforming and combat, highlighted the Vessel as an engaging area to explore, and noted that the mod system adds useful versatility.
In journalistic terms: the review concluded that MIO is a tightly designed Metroidvania that offers a compelling experience for fans of the genre, even if it does not supplant established masterpieces.
Pix'n Love's limited print runs and clear packaging details follow a broader market trend in which collectors and players seek physical editions for indie titles.
The announced quantities — 2,000 standard copies and 500 collectors — underscore the scarcity model commonly used by boutique publishers to manage production and demand.
For Nintendo Switch owners who have not tried the game digitally, the new physical release provides an option to own MIO: Memories in Orbit on cartridge.
Retail availability and pre-order windows were specified in Pix'n Love's announcement; consumers should consult official Pix'n Love channels or trusted retailers for exact pre-order dates and regional shipping details.
As always with limited runs, potential buyers should act promptly when pre-orders open.
The move reinforces Pix'n Love's growing profile in physical publishing for indie games, and it puts MIO: Memories in Orbit back in the conversation for collectors and Metroidvania enthusiasts on Nintendo platforms.
